6. How can I customize Proloquo2Go for an individual user? When you first start Proloquo2Go, you will need to select what type of vocabulary organization you would like to use. You have the following choices: • Core Word Vocabulary • Basic Communication Vocabulary • Previous vocabulary [only for updating over 1.x] • Blank Vocabulary Section 6.1 will help you understand these different vocabulary organizations and how to select the one that best fits the person(s) you’re setting up with Proloquo2Go. Section 6.2 will show you how to use the Setup Wizard to select and initialize a vocabulary organization. The sections that follow will give you information on further customizing each vocabulary organization type to meet each user’s needs. 6.1. Vocabulary Organizations A vocabulary organization is a way of organizing words and sentences in an AAC system so that the person who uses the system to communicate can find the right words and sentences as quickly and efficiently as possible. How vocabulary should be organized depends on the needs of the user - their language level, what size buttons they need for access, what kind of things they need to talk about, etc. We’ll describe the two vocabulary organization types in Proloquo2Go, and which type of user each is best suited for. Basic Communication The Basic Communication vocabulary organization is designed for users who are just beginning to use AAC to express their basic needs. These communicators often start with requesting things, people, and activities, but may quickly need to communicate for other reasons, like commenting on or describing things, or sharing their news. These users may have difficulty navigating between pages in a traditional AAC vocabulary organization, especially one with multiple levels. The Basic Communication vocabulary allows its users to quickly and efficiently make requests, refuse or protest, and share basic personal information. The Basic Communication vocabulary can be configured to use 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, or 6x6 buttons on a screen. No scrolling is required on the main page, and with a few exceptions, the navigation hierarchy is only 2 levels deep (the main page, and one level of folders that can be reached directly from the main page.) To switch between configurations, go to Options > Appearance, and set the number of columns to 3, 4, 5, or 6. Basic Communication will not display properly with fewer than 3 columns or more than 6, and the number of rows must equal the number of columns. Once you decide that the Basic Communication vocabulary is appropriate for your user, you must select which configuration is appropriate. You can do this based on what button size the user can access, how many buttons per screen your user can visually process, and what kind of reasons the user wants and needs to communicate about. Remember that if your user can handle smaller buttons, but is not ready for some of the reasons for communication listed under a particular configuration, you can always hide the buttons that are not yet appropriate, and unhide them later as the user progresses. 54
